Finished my antibiotics so I'm hoping for a straight forward recovery. I'm numb in certain places but sore at the same time. Have to have belly button stitches out next Monday and I'm dreading it! Still not able to stand completely straight but almost there now. My back hurts like mad.
Not sure if I'm meant to be sleeping on my side but I can't sleep on my back comfortably anymore. Not that sleeping on my side is 100%!!!
I'm so surprised at how low the pain has been. I'm no longer on pain meds. The bruising is sore from the lipo but it's bearable. I'm just frustrated at not being able to do things around the house. My partner goes mad if I even enter the kitchen!! When can I start using arnica gel?

Sorry, you replied to my comment on another post and I just completely stalked your profile :)
I'm glad everything went well in Prague! Can I ask would you recommend staying in the apartment longer and did you use the nurse service? X

That's ok!!! I actually was ready to return home a day or 2 earlier! I wasn't in pain just sore. I went with my partner so didn't need nurse help. I have a real low pain threshold and planned for the worst pain! The most uncomfortable thing for me was sleeping. I found it hard to sleep on my back. It's getting better. Are you going alone?

Oh wow that does sound really quick! I've never had surgery before and I'm quite anxious so im trying to make sure I know absolutely everything lol. At the moment I'm not sure who's coming with or if I will be going alone as it probably won't be until mid to late next year so lots of planning still.

*I've read loads about seromas and people having to fly back to have them drained so I figured I might stay out there 10-12 nights but not sure if that's me being too panicked.

So I arrived in Prague anxious as I saw a last minute email from the clinic saying the bloods I'd done in the uk weren't right. Wasn't sure whether they could be done the morning of surgery and to make matters worse my period started 10 days early! Could it get any worse?
Well yes. The man seated in front on the plane had a fit had to wait for ambulance to get him off so we missed our 12:10 connection flight. Had to wait until 18:10. Arrived in Prague when all the shops were closed! ????
Anyhow had to be at the clinic 7:45am good thing we rented an apartment upstairs of the clinic. I woke up at 7:20!!!!! The clinic were happy to carry out all the tests at a healthy €175! I was the only one in for surgery so went down at 10 woke up at 4pm. The treatment from the entire team was faultless. The surgeon came to see me and explained I had an umbilical hernia that had come apart in 2 places so he repaired it as well as my diastases recti. I was topped up with pain meds and anti sickness meds. I can now walk to the toilet on my own. Can't wait to see my new tum. Tomorrow I'll have my drains out and head back to the apartment for 2 nights. So far progress. Let's see what tomorrow holds!!

Surgery scheduled for next Monday. I'm crazy busy trying to sort out the home and work. Bought and wrapped up my xmas pressies just in case I'm unable to do it on the other side. Time has really run away. I'm worried I won't have sorted everything out in time. I've been buying my supplies for use when I get home. Flight booked for Prague on Sunday and surgery scheduled for Monday. Got my blood results back today all fine. ECG on Friday and final review needs to be done by my GP confirming I'm fit for surgery.
Strongly thinking about a breast lift with fat transfer. I'm worried I might be in too much pain but it would make sense to do it all now. I've got fibromyalgia so extra sensitive to pain. Might send off some pics tomorrow and waiting for a response. Need to add a few more before pics.
